My 3 pots of Plant Booties. 😂 I sorted them into pots: Good, Splitting, and Thirsty.

I repotted my baby Lithops last night.
I repotted my baby Lithops last night. I was terrified to do it because LOOK AT THOSE TEENSY ROOTS! They are no thicker than the dog hair on my pants. 😂😂😂 I used spare nail tools to dig them up carefully because it was delicate work, but I'm sure I got them moved with little to no damage. They look much more suited to this soil than the apparently delicious - looking cactus and succulent mix I had them in before. 😛😂
All in all, 20 out of 25 seeds germinated and 18 have continued to grow. I bought the special soil from the same company I bought my Lithops from (Micro Landscape Design on Amazon), and they sent more seeds and 9 young Lithops (for free!) with the order, as well as a couple of cheap pots and small gardening tools. So aside from these babies I now have 21 mature Lithops and 2 packs of seeds left to germinate. 😳 I mean I'm excited and who doesn't love freebies, but that's a lot of Lithops and I'm still learning how to care for them. I hope I can keep them healthy.
I'll post pics of my older Lithops later. They were sorted and repotted last night, as well. 🙂

Thankfully, the weekend was amazing because I got to see Big Queen.
Nothing like waking up with a migraine in progress and barfing up all the meds you took not even 15 minutes after you get out of bed. It has not been a good day. 😢 I had an iced coffee yesterday and I'm pretty sure it triggered me. That is such a freaking bummer. I knew I could be a little sensitive to caffeine - it doesn't take much to give me the jitters, but DANG. This is a first.
Thankfully, the weekend was amazing because I got to see Big Queen. I took him to see my mom and I haven't seen her look so excited in forever. She was smiling so hard and made some happy fists and it was the damn cutest. 😊😂😂😂
We hung out and caught up on life (we had about 15 years to go through) and talked nails and polish and it was so great. I needed that. I swear I'd been looking for him on social media for ages. He better not ever disappear on me again! ❤️
Thank you again for making the trip to see me, Tyler. I had such a great time. We will definitely have to do it again soon! 💗

So I bought a RocketBook...
So I bought a RocketBook at the end of last semester because I go through A LOT of paper for school. I take notes in class and then I re-write my notes neatly as part of my studying because it helps me and makes sure I go through them thoroughly. That doesn't count scratch paper for all of the math I do. 🙁 So a book I can write in and wipe off and write on again appealed to me because I really hate wasting resources. Being able to scan my notes and back them up is more of an afterthought for me, but I do use that feature.
Well, my dilemma now is that I'm going through a Frixion pen / week so far (just from writing in the RocketBook). 😂😂😂 At least I can buy ink refills, though. In any case I highly recommend RocketBook if you need to write a lot. Added bonus: the pens just GLIDE across that coated surface and it is so soothing to my senses. 🤩

New kids...
New kids courtesy of Beth! These look so neat! And the little one has 2 babies already! Thank you, Beth. They are all potted up and going in my window sill. 😁
